Configuring settings: Render Engine

Only systems with a Render Engine require this process.

If you received your system pre-configured from Grass Valley, your Engines settings are already configured so you can skip these tasks. Otherwise, work through this section to configure your Engines settings.

To locate these settings, click Core | Engines

Depending on the workflow and bandwidth requirements of your system, Grass Valley may provide a system design in which multiple engines of the same type run on one or more servers. Configure engines as specified by your system design.

In the Control Panel application, open Engines settings.

Settings are described as follows:

Setting or button	Description
Configured	Selects an Engine for which settings are saved.
Hostname	The name of a GV STRATUS server that hosts the Engine.
Engine Type	The Engine components installed on the GV STRATUS server.
Status	Indicates if the Engine service is running or stopped.
Action	Starts and stops the Engine service.
Save	Saves current settings to selected GV STRATUS servers.
Cancel	Returns settings to their last saved state.
Refresh	Updates the list.

Click Refresh to make sure the list has the latest information from SiteConfig.
Verify that GV STRATUS servers with role of Render Engine are listed, and that those servers are set to Engine Type Conform.
In the Configured column, select each server with role of Render Engine, with Engine Type Conform. You must save settings at initial install/config and any time a GV STRATUS server with an Engine Type role is added, removed, or modified in SiteConfig.
Click Save. Settings are saved to the selected GV STRATUS servers.
